text: We've all looked longingly and lovingly at the auto shows in Europe and Japan and wondered how we might drive some of the awesome cars that don't make it to the states. Turns out, a passport, plane ticket and rental agreement might be the only way. Sure, some lustworthy Euro-spec cars can make it in. Witness the list of Show and Display cars the overlords at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration OK'd despite the fact that not one of them meets government safety standards. They meet the standards of NHTSA's "Show and Display" exemption. Such cars must be exceedingly rare, historically significant and driven a mere 2,500 miles annually. But if you think a boatload of money and reams of paperwork can get any car into the country, think again. Today, we present some of the cars people tried to import under Show and Display that were rejected by Uncle Sam. We aren't talking about fanboy fantasies here, but actual cars that someone went to the trouble of tracking down and applying to the feds for. Let us be clear: The cars listed here are illegal because they don't meet NHTSA regulations, and aren't more than 25 years old and therefore exempt from those rules. Sure, you could buy one in Canada or Mexico and drive it around -- but an illegally imported car is subject to seizure and a trip to the crusher. These are the cars your government doesn't want you to have. Above: 1989-2001 Nissan Skyline R32/R34 So many people have tried to bring Skylines into the United States that we're pretty sure NHTSA's phone directory sounds something like this: "Thank you for calling the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. For vehicle-safety-recall information, press 1. If you are inquiring about importing a Nissan Skyline, forget it. No way, no how. Have a nice day." The Skyline has almost as dedicated a fan base in North America as in Japan, and the cars can often be seen on the streets of British Columbia. However, despite countless tries of countless models, the Skyline — with the exception of the 1999 GTR R34 V-Spec Early Model Limited Edition — remains forbidden. Sadly, a number of Skylines have been crushed by the feds after unscrupulous importers skirted laws with ingenious, er, shady methods like disassembling the vehicles and re-registering them as kit cars. Photo: gracewong/Flickr1991-1996 Honda Beat Don't laugh — Japanese kei, those awesome but diminutive vehicles exempt from certain Japanese taxes due to their small size and engine displacement — have a cult following the world over. The Honda Beat is a particular favorite. The Pininfarina-bodied roadster was the last vehicle Soichiro Honda approved. Go ahead and laugh at its size, but the mid-mounted engine achieves nearly 100 horsepower per liter. No, you can't have one. Photo: imuttoo/Flickr1995 Audi RS2 Avant This bit of wagon-awesomeness is the RS2, Audi's first "RS" (RennSport or "Racing Sport," in English) vehicle. Based on the 80 wagon and built at Porsche's famed Rossle-Bau plant, this beast would hit 30 mph from a standstill faster than a McLaren F1 road car. Zero to 62 came in a mere 4.8 seconds, thanks to the turbocharged 311-horsepower 5-cylinder engine. All that and you can carry a surprising amount of groceries. Alas, it is categorically ineligible for Show and Display because 2,891 were built — more than the 500 ceiling on Show and Display cars. Photo: Wikimedia Commons1990-1991 Nissan Figaro Like the Beat, the Figaro is a kei car, exempt from certain Japanese taxes because of the vehicle's size and displacement. Unlike the Beat, Nissan decided to go retro with the Figaro, creating a car that looks somewhat like a cross between a Renault Dauphine and a Crosley radio. Nissan never heavily marketed the quirky Figaro, which was sold along with the snail-shaped S-Cargo van, but it took off and the 20,000 car production run sold out quickly. They're popular in Canada, where cars without import certification can be brought to the Great White North after only 15 years, but it's still illegal in the United States. Photo: Wikimedia Commons2005 Beijing Auto Industrial Holding Rodedawg What could possibly go wrong with importing a Chinese amphibious military vehicle for civilian use? Luis Pallais, a former employee of the Nicaraguan Consul General's office in San Francisco, decided to find out. Pallais signed up a dealer network to distribute the vehicle that he named "Rodedawg" and even got rapper Ice-T to represent the brand, paying him in stock options. Unfortunately, according to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the whole setup was a sham. "From late 2005 through early 2007, Rodedawg Int'l issued nearly thirty press releases touting the success of its ongoing business, when, in fact, it had no revenue or earnings," the SEC complaint read. "Some of these releases contained materially false information or omitted to disclose material information." Those who put down deposits are out of luck, because the Rodedawg was even denied a Show and Display waiver.2005 Cross Lander 244X See if this story sounds familiar: A salesman wants to capitalize on the Hummer craze by importing a basic, rugged SUV from an automotive manufacturing backwater. It's just like the Rodedawg, but this time the vehicle in question was a Romanian-built Land Rover Defender lookalike known as the Cross Lander, manufactured by ARO. Businessman John Perez, who apparently got his MBA at Malcolm Bricklin University, first sold franchise agreements back in 1998 for $75,000 each, until dealers got nervous about paying for vehicles up front. The company folded. In 2003, Perez bought a majority share of ARO. Instead of investing money in the company as the sale agreement stipulated, he sold off ARO's assets. The Romanian state sued Perez for falsifying documents.1998-2000 Rover Mini Cooper Before there was a MINI, there was the original: the Rover Mini Cooper. While the last 50 Mini Cooper S vehicles that came down the production line in 2000 were cleared for import under Show and Display, other examples of Sir Alex Issigonis' iconic design aren't allowed if they haven't celebrated a 25th birthday. Photo: Wikimedia Commons1987 Toyota Carina ED We're not sure why someone would want to bring over a Camry-like mid-size built on a Celica platform, but someone must have a penchant for 1980s Japanese cars. The "ED" model designation stands for "Exciting, Dressy" and not what you were thinking. Photo: Wikimedia Commons1992 Mazda Cosmo In Japan, Mazda created an upscale brand called Eunos. The flagship car of the Eunos brand was the Cosmo, a technologically advanced vehicle with such features as the world's first factory-optioned vehicle GPS navigation system (on a CRT, nonetheless) and the only triple-rotor engine that Mazda ever built. Only 8,875 were sold, and Mazda has yet to build a car as expensive. Photo: zanthraxnl/Flickr1998-2009 Chevrolet/Suzuki Jimny Though Consumer Reports never liked the Suzuki Samurai, it had a dedicated following among off-roaders. Production continues to this day of the vehicle formerly known as the Samurai, sold in South America as the Chevrolet Jimny (not the GMC Jimmy) and in the rest of the world as the Suzuki Jimny, as shown above. It's a popular car, which explains why it wouldn't get a waiver to be imported as a rare vehicle. Photo: Wikimedia Commons.2000-2001 Land Rover Defender 130 Of all the cars on this list, this is the one that has us scratching our heads. A Defender, excluded from the United States on the grounds of safety? On second thought, though it has successfully conquered the harshest environments from the savanna to the tundra, the Defender isn't exactly renowned for daily reliability, and highway shoulders are very dangerous places to wait for a tow truck. Maybe NHTSA has a point. Photo: katynicolson/Flickr1985 Zastava 750 'Fica' It looks like a Fiat 600 because it's a Yugoslav version of the Italian car produced under license. We're not sure why anyone would bother bringing one to the United States, but it doesn't matter now, as it's older than 25 and not subject to NHTSA import rules. Photo: leartoon/Flickr1996-2006 TVR Sagaris, T350, Tuscan, Cerbera Peter Wheeler, the former owner of British boutique carmaker TVR, felt that airbags and ABS gave drivers a false sense of security and therefore did not install them in the fantastic creations that he oversaw. As such, newer TVRs didn't make it to the United States. Photo: Wikimedia Commons1996-2001 Lotus Elise S1 Though the Series 2 "Federal" Elise is legal in the on this side of the pond, the Series 1 car or its 340R derivative is not. That doesn't stop some shady dealers from trying to sell them on eBay, however. Photo: furlined/Flickr2000 DaimlerChrysler Smart Car We suspect the application to import a first generation Smart Fortwo took place before 2006, when the second generation of Smarts began arriving on U.S. shores. Either way, it's hardly a rare car and we're not surprised it was denied. Photo: kerryvaughan/Flickr2003 Volkswagen Beetle Ultima Edicion Despite the fact that this particular car is registered in Oregon, Mexican-built Beetles weren't allowed in the United States if they were younger than 25 years old -- not even the Ultima Edicion version shown here, one of the final 3,000 cars sold as 2004 models. Photo: SoulRider.222/Flickr1981, 1989 Trabant This East German relic has gained fame as everything that was wrong with manufacturing in a planned economy. However, poor build quality, long production delays and features that were eons behind Western counterparts also meant the Trabi was easy to fix, highly coveted in the Eastern bloc and now remains a symbol of that unique East German nostalgia known as Ostalgie. The earliest Trabis are over 25 years old, meaning they're not subject to NHTSA regulations. If you're really interested in bringing one over, get an earlier model, as they hardly changed during their production span. No surprise why this one got denied, as they were churned out by the millions, but it is a tad ironic that bureaucratic rules often criticized as protectionist are what's keeping the Trabant out of the United States, as it was extreme protectionism that allowed the car to be built in the first place.

The 149th academic year at HopeCollege will begin formally with the college's Opening Convocation on Sunday, Aug. 29, at 2 p.m. in the Richard and Helen DeVos Fieldhouse.
The 149th academic year at HopeCollege will begin formally with the college's Opening Convocation on Sunday, Aug. 29, at 2 p.m. in the Richard and Helen DeVos Fieldhouse.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
The featured speaker will be Dr. Sonja Trent-Brown, assistant professor of psychology.
Residence halls for new students will open on Friday, Aug. 27, at 10 a.m., with New Student Orientation beginning later that day and continuing through Monday, Aug. 30. Residence halls for returning students will open on Sunday, Aug. 29, at noon. Fall semester classes will begin on Tuesday, Aug. 31, at 8 a.m.
The summer has provided an opportunity for subtle but significant upgrades to campus, including renovation of computer science and engineering laboratories in VanderWerf Hall; remodeling of the Health Center; a new roof for the Keppel House, which houses the campus ministries program; new windows at Gilmore Hall; and new furniture for student rooms in Durfee, Gilmore and Phelps halls.
Trent-Brown has been a member of the Hope faculty since 2005. Her research interests include psychoacoustics and cognitive development.
In January she presented the seminar "Who Is It? Voice Quality and Speaker Identification" during the annual Winter Happening coordinated by the college's office of public and community relations. She involves students as co-investigators in her research, and this past spring she and her student research team received the inaugural "Social Sciences Young Investigators Award" for their project "Survey of Psychological Services Requested by the Public in Various Medical Settings."
Among other activity on campus, she is faculty advisor for Hope's Black Student Union (BSU), and has been a presenter in the college's Teaching Enhancement Workshop for new faculty. She is among the faculty profiled in the "Hope People" section of the college's 2010-11 "Catalog."
Trent-Brown graduated from Harvard/Radcliffe University in 1989. She completed her master's and doctorate at the University of South Florida in 1997 and 2004 respectively.

News & Notes: Game 37
Follow the Herd:
Listen to the Game Live: CLICK HERE!
Bisons Baseball Network: CLICK HERE!
Email the Broadcast Team: CLICK HERE!
Everything about the Herd: CLICK HERE!
Get to a Bisons Game: CLICK HERE!
TODAY'S GAME: This afternoon, the Buffalo Bisons face the Pawtucket Red Sox in the finale of a four-game series from McCoy Stadium (12:05 p.m.). The Bisons are looking for the split of the four-game set. After dropping the first two games of the series, the Herd roared back with an 8-2 victory last night. After this series, the Bisons will have an off-day before returning home for an eight-game homestand against Columbus and Lehigh Valley on Thursday.
OFFENSIVE OUTBURST: The Bisons had their best offense game of the season last night, scoring six runs in the seventh inning of a 9-2 victory over Pawtucket. Seven different Bisons had hits and six drove in at least one run. OF Fernando Martinez led the charge with a double, a home run and a Bisons season-high three runs scored.
F-MART: OF Fernando Martinez is starting to heat back up at the plate. The 20-year old has hit in four of his last five games with a .333 average (6-18), a double, two home runs, four RBI, six runs scored and two stolen bases. Martinez leads the Bisons in all triple crown categories as well as hits (39), runs (18) and extra-base hits (20).
RUN-PRODUCER: C/INF Javier Valentin has already proven himself a big-time run producer for the Herd. The veteran has five hits in his first five games, with four of them driving in runs. Valentin had a pair of RBI-singles in last night's victory. In his first at-bat as a Bison, Valentin hit a solo home run in the first game of last Friday's doubleheader against Gwinnett.
DONE LIKE DESSENS: RHP Elmer Dessens has been virtually unhittable this month. The veteran has pitched scoreless relief in six consecutive outings. During the stretch, Dessens has allowed just two hits and two walks in 8.0 innings of work. On the year, opponents are hitting just .178 against Dessens with only one extra-base hit.
ROSTER MOVE: The New York Mets have selected the contract or INF Ramon Martinez. The veteran missed the first 21 games of the season but was activated on May 3. He reached base safely in all nine games he played in with the Bisons, hitting .290 (9-31) with an RBI and four walks.

I love my Bialetti Brikka. I really do. But that doesn't mean it hasn't given me my fair share of problems. I mean.....what grind would you think it likes best for making a shot of espresso (please humour me) even if most coffee afficianado's would deny the Brikka being able to ever affect such a creation. Well I have been running through just about every setting of which my beautiful Krups GVX2 grinder is capable, from the coarsest to the finest and so far have not failed to fill my shot glass with the most flavourfull beverage, complete with 5mm of crema. I can see that smile on your face as you read that. Yes?
What started out to be a test of what grind could give me the most realistic espresso, has changed into a quest to see which grind would give me an espresso without a slop of grounds in the bottom of the glass. I have been brought to my knees and have to say that it doesn't seem that I will ever get that elusive espresso without some grounds in the bottom of my glass, because whatever setting I use, the grounds are there. I guess other coffee lovers get the same, depending on what method they use to brew their daily shot. But is there any stove top coffee maker, not bringing in those that use paper filters, that is capable of delivering that coffee without a trace of grounds? I would love to know. Not that I have any intention of ditching my Brikka, oh no, that would be nothing short of criminal. I am just curious. Anyone out there care to enlighten me on this fascinating aspect of coffee creation? Regards Walt.

You oughta know something about Alanis Morissette. She�s in a very happy place in her life, quite possibly the happiest she has ever been.
Case in point her latest release, �Havoc and Bright Lights, which
Morissette calls �a relationship record even more so than ever before� and the giddy enthusiasm she has talking about her current �Guardian Angel Tour,� which makes a stop Oct. 17 at the House of Blues in Boston.
Morissette�s worldwide debut album, �Jagged Little Pill,� is the best-selling debut album by a female artist in the U.S., and the highest-selling debut album worldwide, selling 33 million units globally.
On May 22, 2010, Morissette�s life changed for the better when she married Mario J. Treadway, who is formerly of Sturbridge and a 1999 graduate of Tantasqua Regional High School.
Treadway, who is a hip-hop rap artist who goes by the stage name Souleye, will be opening the show for his wife. The two have a son, Ever Imre Morissette-Treadway, who was born Dec. 25, 2010.
�Our first show last night (Sept. 24 in San Diego) was a serious dream-come-true because I just watched him (Treadway) from the side of the stage with my son wearing his noise canceling headphones and I just thought this probably is the best moment of my life, watching my husband, who, I fell in love with him as a fan first,� Morissette said, during a recent conference call (which I participated in). �I didn�t think I�d have the gift of being able to actually go on a date with him, but he�s such an amazing stream of consciousness, high consciousness rap artist and so for him to be playing with me on tour with my son in my arms � I�ve never seen a happier little face in my life than when he�s backstage with all of us.�
More so than ever, Morissette said her heart has opened up and that�s because of marriage and motherhood. But domesticated bliss has not declawed the drama queen from the Great White North who once wailed, �Every time I scratch my nails down someone else�s back, I hope you feel it...Well can you feel it!� If anything, it has added a new dimension to her already rich, colorful and eccentric emotional workings.
�I think it (�Havoc and Bright Lights�) speaks to how much braver I am to delve into a deeper intimacy in my relationships, the one with my son, with my husband, even to the point where I�d be ready to get married,� Morissette said. �Intimacy was always terrifying for me � intimacy with spirit, other people, friends, even professional colleagues, although I don�t really write about that directly.�
Despite being in a much happier place in her life than she was when she burst out onto the unsuspecting music scene 15 years ago, Morissette said it is not hard to tap into the anger and anxiety that fueled such classic songs as �You Ought to Know,� �Hand in My Pocket,� and �Ironic.�
�I think that the anger, all of these emotions are just part of the human condition. So my husband can attest to the fact that I still have anger and that I�m still feisty and fiery. It just shows up in different ways,� Morissette said. �I think, if anything, I�m less reactive and less irresponsible in that way. But the emotions themselves still move through me at a really accelerated rate. It�s now more that I can corral it and I�m a little more responsible for that huge life force moving through me. I think anger and joy are two of the biggest life forces that can move mountains and worlds, so I just have to be careful with it. But I use songs like �You Ought to Know� to channel rage that I might have. If I�m going through something particularly challenging I look forward to singing those songs at night because I can move that energy.�
As for the current tour, Morissette said expect plenty of choice cuts from �Havoc and Bright Lights, a mini-acoustic set near the tail-end of the show and an ever-changing set-list of Alanis classics.
�Basically, by the end of the show, I just feel really neutral because we run the whole gamut of every emotion known to humankind for me, the songs from the last 17 years, and we change the set list a lot because we have the luxury of being able to do it,� Morissette said. �I just want to make sure that I touch on enough aspects of my own humanity that it�s a varied show. I think in terms of color a lot, so I want to make sure that the whole set isn�t all dark purple. I�ve got to have some primary colors thrown in there � So I�m going to keep it positive and challenging and exaltative and harrowing and have it all come forth, angry, happy, blissed out, infatuated, pissed off.�
So with all her insight and knowledge she has gained over the years, Morissette said if she could back go 15 years in the past and talk to her former self, advice on personal hygiene and well-being would be on the top of the lists.
�I would say take a shower, and I would also say you don�t have to do it alone,� Morissette said. �I think if I would have changed anything back then it was that I didn�t have a lot of support. I was pretty insulated and isolated and I didn�t trust a lot of people, so I definitely connected with God a lot, but I would have had a little bit more human being support around her.�

work work work.
So alot of people have been asking me about my new job since I mentioned my transfer in an earlier blog. I started a new position within the University as an Admissions Evaluator. It sounds a whole lot cooler than that it really is. Basically I make sure that when students start their program they are fully admissible and then determine what transfer credits they will have. The culture is SO different in my new department. It is so quiet and it makes me crazy, but I don't have to deal with the stress of enrollment. I'm still in training and I hope I like this new position.

Friday, January 11, 2008
So yesterday I was straightening some things in the living room and picked up my pistol BB-gun to put it away. I had just recently gotten home from work and I wanted to join my wife on the couch to talk about our days. The dog was sitting on the couch ( as she always does) where I would have liked to have sat. I jokingly pointed the bb-gun at the dog. This action was met with a display of teeth, growling, and fury that I could not believe could originate from such a tiny creature. CRAZY. I was so scared I jumped back and ran to the kitchen ( where I continued to taunt the dog by lining her up in the sight of my lil BBgun. )

A new year
We spent New Year's Eve together eating Pei Wei take-out and a Star Wars marathon (well we watched the first two). After that it was a short 3 day work week and my last day at my old job was on Friday. I am going to miss the people that I worked with but I am excited for something new. This morning we met our new primary class, we are now teaching the CTR 5 class! I couldn't believe it but they are even cuter than the 9 year olds we had last year! We went to eat at TGI-Fridays this afternoon for lunch. It is really overcast day today so I forced Johnna to go to park and take pictures. She took this one of me and I was dying to try a new effect that I read about. What do ya think?

Surgical Procedures for Leukemia
]]>Main Page]]> | ]]>Risk Factors]]> | ]]>Symptoms]]> | ]]>Diagnosis]]> | ]]>Treatment]]> | ]]>Screening]]> | ]]>Reducing Your Risk]]> | ]]>Talking to Your Doctor]]> | ]]>Living With Leukemia]]> | ]]>Resource Guide]]>
]]>Blood Transfusions]]>
Red blood cells, platelets, or other blood components may be transfused to increase the number of red blood cells and platelets in patients who are short of breath, fatigued, or in danger of serious bleeding . During a blood transfusion, blood and blood products are infused into a vein.
Donated blood must be matched to your blood type. Prior to a transfusion, your blood will be drawn to check your blood type. You may receive blood that has been irradiated to prevent the risk of graft vs. host disease. A nurse will monitor you for any signs of an adverse reaction.
]]>Bone Marrow Transplantation]]>
Bone marrow transplantation involves the injection of healthy stem cells from a donor's bone marrow into your vein. The new stem cells travel through the bloodstream to your bone cavities. Stem cells are cells that can produce red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Bone marrow transplantation allows you to receive high doses of chemotherapy or radiation because it replaces those cells destroyed by the various treatments. Bone marrow transplantation may be performed using bone marrow either from a donor (allogeneic transplant) or from you (autologous transplant).
If the transplant is successful, the newly injected cells should be free of cancer and capable of producing healthy cells.
In order for bone marrow transplants to be successful, certain markers (called HLA types) on the donor's and recipient's blood cells and bone marrow cells must match. As the recipient, you will be given medications to suppress your immune system and prevent your body from rejecting the donor bone marrow. In the weeks prior to the bone marrow transplant, you may undergo intense chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy to rid your body of diseased cells and to clear the bone marrow cavities for the new bone marrow. This process is called "conditioning."
Removal of bone marrow from the donor, called "harvesting," takes place in an operating room. A hollow needle and syringe is used to remove bone marrow from the donor's hipbone. Several punctures are made in order to harvest an adequate amount of bone marrow for transplantation. The puncture wounds are then covered with bandages.
The donated marrow is filtered and then administered through a small, flexible catheter into a large vein in your chest. You receive the bone marrow in an isolation room, where you will need to stay to avoid infection until the new marrow begins to produce infection-fighting cells. It may take about a month for the donor bone marrow to begin functioning fully.
Some patients with leukemia develop complications as a result of the spleen being congested with leukemia cells. In these cases, it may be necessary to remove the spleen as part of treatment. Removal of the spleen can often be done laparoscopically. The main side effect of splenectomy, other than the possibility of infection or anesthesia complications, is the fact that the patient may be left susceptible to certain types of infections, particularly pneumonia. In most cases, vaccination against common bacteria that cause pneumonia can prevent this from occurring. An alternative to removing the spleen, in some circumstances, is to irradiate it with external beam radiation.
Special Considerations
Discuss the benefits and risks of the various treatments with your doctor.
When to Contact Your Doctor
Call the doctor if you develop:
- Any signs of infection, such as fever, cough, runny nose, red or swollen skin
- Any signs of abnormal bleeding

"Just plug it into your Genesis!"
"In Soviet Russia, CD plays you!"
|Sega Micro CD
This is supposed to be cutting edge?
|Units Sold:
|230 Microvision Universally-Wide
|Intel Octomom 4 1.39-bit 3.14159... Core Processor @ 1985GHz
500KB of GOAT
|Obscure Games:
|Hotel Mario, Sonic SD Card, Crac-Man 57D, Your Mom, Sonic the Hedgehog
The Segay (Short for "Sega is hardgay") Micro CD is another one of the shitty add-ons made for the Mega Drive your skull into The Wall In Torment. The system was noted for its god awful FMV based games such as Whore Trap, Gay Little Hedgehog collects Rings and kills Scientist in Robot Cars, and the ever weird Hotel Mario. In fact, sales for Hotel Mario were so bad it's the reason Microsoft made the Xbox. Nice Job, bastards. Tht includes you, You.
How The Hell Did It Start?[edit]
It all started when the Sega Genesis was starting to get sales popularity. It was at a rally where it met the Turbografx CD. And it ended in a one night stand, and the Turbo CD was pregnant. A couple of months later, the Sega CD was born, and it got dumped in a fried chicken bucket at the doorstep of the Genesis' house. It wouldn't be until '92 when it got done with college and tried to prove itself. And it made horrible mistake number one: sign a contract with Marky mark and the Funky Bunch. When it launched in '92 or '93, all it had was shit for games. Yet the idiots bought it up thinking Full Motion Seizure meant "OMG REAL LIFENESS GAMEZ!". Unfortunately, all it was was really bad games where all it was about was clicking buttons to make some idiot dance or something. The only one people actually bought was Night Trap because it was about vampires trying to rape a bunch of teenage girls, which secured its place in the porn market. The system stayed the course of crap after crap until the eventful release of the now classic Sonic Laserdisc, which was about collecting rocks of crack and defeating Wilford Brimley in a hoverchair. Take that, Liberty Medical! Where's your diabeetus now?ehgigigwsvudsygeijghhhhuhdv
The Badness Gets a Facelift[edit]
After a year, the Sega CD got tired of its weight, which he blamed on 3 chicken buckets a day, not to mention the Seizure Videos. And then it happened- the Mega Screwdriver turned into a square. And that's when the CD turned even uglier- It became an ugly gigantic rectangle with a flip lid, not to mention it plays "Never Gonna Give You Up" when there's no CD instead of "Foxy Lady". And then the CDs got smaller, which turned away the nerd division of the porn market.
CD Does Drugs[edit]
After a while, the disuse of the Sega CD brought it into a bad crowd. But it was responsible for creating one of the greatest drugs of the 90s while drinking Sprite and vodka- 32X. The final product looked like a black tumor or a mushroom and makes you think you're fighting zombies and demons on Mars or Getting stuck with a lizard in an amusement park. And after a while, nobody liked 32X anymore due to in killing Tupac Shakur, and because everybody like the new kid on the block, the Saturn, which also lost to the unspeakable horror. Nowadays, the Sega CD is in the Marines, gunning down terrorists and Robot Bitches left and right, trying to prove it's not a total piece of Full Seizure crap.
The Specs[edit]
- Discs with a center hole too tiny for even a nerd's dick *cough*You*cough*
- Full Seizure Video contained in a box the size of an ant
- Only, like, 3 good games
- Uses 3 processors designed to produce unoriginality and retardedness
- A CD+G player (The G stands for G-strap, as in the belt used to run the 8 in. floppy drive)
Some of those only good Games[edit]
- Sonic Telegrammaphone (1993)
- Lunar Silver Mercades (2002)
- Hooker Trap (4321)
- Mario Paint (AB2C)
- Link: The Feces of Evil (Wait, that's Nintendo!!)
- You the Homo fucks the World Up! (AACE)
- IMMALET YOU FINISH, BUT MARIO IS THE BETTER GAME GUY (West)

Samsung will soon be rolling out the bada 2.0 update for its bada-running Wave branded handsets. Earlier, Sammy had stated that all of its Wave handsets will get the bada 2.0, but it seems like that might not be true.
SammyHub reports that in an email sent my Samsung to developers earlier this month, the company grouped its bada devices under two different categories Wave (WOVGA) and Wave (WQVGA)_bada 1.1. Sadly, two of the Wave branded handsets, Wave 525 and 533, are under the second category, which means that these handsets won't get the bada 2.0 update.
However, Samsung has promised a Value Packupgrade for the Wave 525 and 533 handsets. Here is the definition of Value Packfrom Samsung :
Samsung is offering Value Packupgrade for devices that do not support bada 2.0 upgrade due to hardware limitations such as main chipset performance and available network speed. Value Packis designed to offer the same bada 2.0 user experience and service as much as possible despite the hardware limitations.
Sammy did not mention as to when it will roll out the Value Packupdate for both the handsets.

My Harry Potter Life!
I'm a Pure-Blood witch and the only daughter of Bellatrix and Rodolphus Lestrange. I was born just a year before my parents were sentenced to a life time in Azkaban for torturing Frank and Alice Longbottom to insanity. So I was sent to live with my Aunt and Uncle, Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy. I got on quite well with the Malfoys until I turned nine, when I found an interest in reading the Daily Prophet. Upon finding an aritcle talking about another Muggle Born Protection Act made by Albus Dumbledore, I consulted the Malfoys on the matter. They told me that Dumbledore was one of the worst things that had ever happened to Hogwarts and Mud Bloods were just as bad. A large argument followed and the result was me being locked in the cellar and treated like a prisoner. Eventually, Draco and I recieved acceptance letters off Hoqwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. At Diagon Alley I was told to go and buy my own things, we'd meet in a few hours. I had the time of my life buying school supplies and in the queue at Ollivander's I started talking to a Muggle Born named Dean Thomas. However, Lucius noticed this and once back home the worst argument yet followed. The outcome this time though, was different: the Malfoys told me to leave their house and never return. I did this gladly and set out to my aunt, Andromeda's house. Once there I explained my situation and they allowed me to stay the summer, where I shared a bedroom with my cousin, Nymphadora. The Tonks family bought me my first owl for my birthday at the beginning of September and told me that I was welcome back at Christmas. At Hogwarts I was sorted into Gryffindor house and became best friends with Neville Longbottom after getting into a fight. At the end of my first year I returned to Andromeda's house. Over my time at Hogwarts, Andromeda and Ted became parents to me and Tonks was like a sister; we attended concerts together at summer and played Quidditch in the fields. I was never made a prefect at school because I recieved too many detentions, and I was happy with it that way, even though I recieved good marks in all of my O.W.Ls. Before my seventh and final year at Hogwarts, I attended Remus and Tonk's wedding and was their only bridesmaid, later becoming Godmother for their child, Teddy. Along with the other pure-blood witches and wizards, I went to Hogwarts for my final year and rebelled against the Carrows along with the rest of Dumbledore's Army, a gang which I had been in from it's formation. Finally, I fought and survived the battle of Hogwarts, watching with happiness as Molly Weasley killed Bellatrix, but was destraught over both Lupin and Tonk's deaths. Later in life I was married and became an Auror like Tonks, luckily being the one to capture and imprison my dad, Rodolphus Lestrange.

But if I was a Muggle...
If I was a muggle then I would love the subject English at school and read more than anything else, Harry Potter would be my favourite book series. My favourite character would be Nymphadora Tonks because of how funny, happy, brave and just down right amazing she is, but Fred, George, Ginny and Lupin would be pretty close. I would also love the books Divergent by Veronica Roth, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, Virals by Kathy Reichs and To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

1 Corinthians 6:1-20 We continue to meditate on judging others. First we learned not to judge anything before the time. Yesterday we saw where Paul judged the sin of a fornicator in the body and exhorted the body at Corinth to break fellowship with him until he repented. Today's passage states an amazing fact about our ability to judge: "Do you not that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?" (v. 3).
In this portion of his letter to the Corinthians, Paul exhorts the church to settle disputes between themselves rather than taking them to a court of law. When we enter courts of law we are dealing with people who are not submitted to the Lord Jesus Christ. They often are not godly counselors. God has given gifts of wisdom and discernment to certain people in the body who can give godly counsel and help settle disputes within the church.
We are at fault when we go to law against a brother or sister in Christ. Even as I am writing this, I know of a Christian man who is suing his wife for divorce. As of yet, only depositions have been given, and the wife and I are praying this will not go to court. This should never be in the body of Christ. I am reminded of how Pastor Cho in Korea settles disputes between wives and husbands in his church. He requires the couple to go to Prayer Mountain and fast and pray there for three days. He shares that when a couple is willing to do this, the great counselor, the Holy Spirit, is able to bring peace and restoration in the marriage. Once a case gets into the court system, there is the possibility of great damage to the souls involved. No one wins if things are settled without godly counsel.
Paul in this passage also gives a list of sins that are committed by the unrighteous. He lists fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, effeminate, abusers of themselves with mankind, thieves, covetous, drunkards, revilers, extortioners—and he declares those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. Then he quickly adds, "And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God" (v. 11).

We as believers were in the world and did worldly things, but now we are in the kingdom of God, and these unrighteous acts should not be a part of our lives any longer. Fornication, Paul states, is the only one of these sins that is a sin against your own body. Since we are the body of Christ, we should not join the members of our body that belong to Christ to someone other than our marriage partner. Jesus is able to cleanse any of the above sins if we come to Him in true repentance and ask for His forgiveness. This is the good news. Through Jesus Christ we can become unworldly and filled with the kingdom of God—peace, righteousness and joy in the Holy Spirit. There is no unforgivable sin except the rejection of Jesus Christ who forgives.

Flu activity continues to wane in Eastern and Southern states, but cases are on the rise out West, the CDC reported Friday.
Slight increases were reported for Western regions that include California, Oregon, and Washington, the agency said in its flu activity report for the week ending Jan. 26.
The proportion of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza came down slightly, to 9.4% from last week's 9.8% -- but that figure remains well above the epidemic threshold of 7.4%, the agency said.
The week ended in the same number of pediatric deaths as the one prior, and the additional eight deaths brings the national total based on data from New York City and 20 states to 45 children killed in this year's flu season.
The total had already surpassed last year's 34 pediatric deaths, but is lower than the 122 seen in the 2010-2011 season and the 282 seen during the H1N1 epidemic.
Over the course of the season, the rate of hospitalizations due to flu was 25.9 per 100,000 population, with seniors hardest hit, accounting for more than half of all reported hospitalized cases.
As for outpatient disease, 4.2% of visits during the week ending Jan. 26 were due to influenza-like illness, above the national baseline of 2.2%, researchers reported. Regionally, those rates ranged from 2.4% to 6.7%.
Such activity has remained relatively stable since last week's 4.3%, which was a decline from 4.6% and 4.8% the 2 weeks prior.
Twenty-four states were still reporting high levels of flu-like disease activity, down from 26 states last week and 30 states the week prior.
Most cases were due to influenza A strains, particularly H3N2 viruses, which were still showing wide susceptibility to neuraminidase inhibitor antiviral drugs such as oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza).
The agency again reminded clinicians and the general public of the need for fast antiviral treatment especially the elderly and other high-risk groups such as pregnant women, people with asthma, heart disease, diabetes, and neurological disorders.
A total of 134.2 million doses of flu vaccine have been distributed to providers, but the agency noted that patients who are still seeking the shot may need to call more than one provider to get it.
The researchers reported no conflicts of interest.

Timi & Leslie: Chic Cruelty-Free Diaper Bags
Ever since Big D was born (he's now 21 months), I made it my mission to only sport diaper bags that looked nothing like mommy bags (gotta keep my fashion sensibility in check, yo). I figured the constant food/pee/puke/poop stains on my clothes were all the "new momma" advertising I needed. 😉 I've fallen in ♥ with quite a few sexy, edgy, stylish "diaper" bags, but the one that has wooed me like no other is my Annette bag from timi & leslie ($149.99). Feast your eyes on this beauty!
The Annette bag is absolutely GORG! It's made from easy to clean faux leather (PVC free) and comes with a ton of features and accessories:
- A cross body, adjustable detachable strap so you can wear it hands free whenever you need to.
- A specially designed changing pad with a front mesh pocket where you can store your diapers, wipes and creams when you need to make a quick diaper change trip.
- A zippered sack to put away soiled clothes.
- A stylish clutch that you can use as your purse with interior credit card slots and an inside zipper pocket.
- An insulated bottle tote to keep your baby's bottles warm or cool.
- Matching stroller straps so you can hang your bebe bag from your stroller.
- Water resistant, light colored lining so you can easily see everything in your bag.
- Three exterior pockets.
- Seven interior pockets including a center divider zipper pocket.
- Inside key fob – never lose your keys! ←Def one of my fave features! 😉
This bag is beautiful, roomy, has everything I need, and the best part is that it's 100% vegan and cruelty-free! Yahooooooo! And when your babe is all grown up, you can still rock this bad boy as a "regular" purse, too. 🙂
Do you have a favorite cruelty-free purse or diaper bag?

If Intel has its way, the boring cash register will be replaced with this machine of the future. And it's more than just sexy glass, metal and touchscreens – its an Intel-powered experience that recognises you and the way you shop.
Intel had conceptualised this new-age cash register a year ago, but this working prototype puts their idea to glass and steel. The way the cash register works is that it'll recognise your shopping habits and purchase history and give recommendations of other products you might want to buy. The idea is to give the best features of online shopping (ease of checkout, recommendations, history) in a brick and mortar setting. And to look really cool doing it. [Wired]

Clairton police officer shoots suspect
Police: Anthony Jefferson shot twice after trying to flee, pulling gun
Fearing for his life and that of a fellow officer, a Clairton police officer shot a suspect when the man pulled a gun Thursday afternoon, according to police.
Police said the two officers spotted Anthony Jefferson, who has an arrest warrant out in his name, driving a car that wasn't inspected or registered and pulled him over in a shopping center parking lot.
Jefferson, 28, then took off in his car, but he wrecked near 8th Street and Jefferson Drive and pointed a gun at the officers as he was getting out of the vehicle, police said.
One of the officers fired at Jefferson, hitting him twice in the arm, police said.
"I was in my den half asleep on the couch, and I heard 'bat bat bat,' like seven times, and my daughter says, 'Mommy, what was that?' And I said, 'It's gunshots, get down and stay away from the windows,'" said neighbor Lisa Contis. "And that's when I heard the screeching and the sirens and my neighbor came out and told everybody, 'Get back, get back, go down the street.'"
Jefferson ran into the woods, but he surrendered shortly after, police said. He was taken to an area hospital and is expected to survive.
Clairton Police Chief Rob Hoffman said the officer who shot Jefferson is a part-time patrolman and a one-year veteran of the force who had never fired his firearm while on-duty before.
"I think that this reinforces the training they receive. Like I said, they have the right to defend themselves or others if they're being threatened with deadly force," said Hoffman.
Hoffman said the officer may be placed on paid administrative leave. Neither officer was injured.
Police said Jefferson has had several run-ins with Clairton police before.
"We've had dealings with him in the past, yes. He's been arrested for violent crimes in the past," said Hoffman.
One firearm was recovered from the scene, police said. Jefferson faces firearms and fleeing and eluding charges, as well as traffic violations.

Instructions for authors
Within the next days new Author Instructions will be announced because Arthropod Systematics & Phylogeny will move to another publication platform with the next volume. Please wait with any submissions until the new Author Instructions will be available.
Arthropod Systematics & Phylogeny
- is a scientific journal published by the Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung.
- has its official website at www.arthropod-systematics.de.
- has a printing format of 210 mm × 297 mm (A4), and a type area of 165 mm × 250 mm.
Please submit your manuscript package by e-mail to the editor-in-chief, Dr. Klaus-Dieter Klass: email@example.com .
Only entirely digital submissions of manuscripts in English language are considered for publication. Manuscripts should deal with some group of Arthropoda s.l. (including Onychophora and Tardigrada).
The scope of the journal covers integrative taxonomy, morphology/anatomy, phylogeny (molecular or morphology-based), bio- and phylogeography, and palaeontology. Purely descriptive work, faunistic work, and (usually) work with a strong regional focus are outside the scope. Descriptions of new taxa are welcome, but must be embedded in a novel wider context (e.g. a phylogenetic, evolutionary, or biogeographical framework). As the printing space is limited, the editors must be selective in the consideration of manuscripts.
When preparing a manuscript for submission, authors should carefully follow the "Detailed Instructions" given below (for further details of style, a recent issue of Arthropod Systematics & Phylogeny, vol. 75 or later, can be consulted). The text must be concise and linguistically correct. Manuscripts not conforming with the instructions or requiring extensive linguistic improvement cannot be considered.
For submission the manuscript package must be structured into the following files (to the extent the manuscript contains the respective elements):
– Text file (in Word): including head of manuscript, abstract, keywords, the entire text body, the references, and if applicable appendices intended to be printed, authors' contributions, the list of electronic supplement files (with their complete legends), and the list of zoobank registrations. No tables or illustrations shall be included in this file!
– Legend file (in Word): including all legends of (1) figures and (2) tables that belong to the part of the manuscript intended for print (i.e., not the legends of the electronic supplement files).
– Table file(s) (in Word): each table of the manuscript should be submitted as a separate original Word file (i.e., do not import tables as graphic elements into the Word file!).
– Figure file(s) (in PDF format): assemble all figures in one PDF file less than 10 MB in size (or in two such files in case of many figures), all in the arrangement (regarding the mounting to plates) and size as intended for printing (type area 165 mm × 250 mm). Legends can be included or not; if not, provide provisional numbering of the figures (unless this is evident from the labeling). [It is anticipated that the authors have high-resolution original figures; these will be required only at the layouting stage.]
– Electronic Supplement file(s): The authors are free in the use of file types, in the design, and in the assembling of elements in a file, but file size should be less than 10 MB. Word, Excel, and PDF files are generally preferred. On the other hand, file types should be appropriate for the data contained and their intended use (such as .nex for morphological and .fasta for molecular character matrices), and they should not be too exotic. The legends of the supplementary figures and tables should be associated with the figures and tables (in addition to their proper placement in the text file, see above).
– In addition, please download the authors agreement form "ASP-2018-AuthorsAgreementForm", fill in your specifications (date, title of manuscript, full name of corresponding author, full names of all other authors), print it, sign it at the end, scan it, and submit it as a single PDF file. It is anticipated that the signature is done on behalf of all authors ot the manuscript in question. By submission of this form, authors give permission to the publisher to publish their contribution, and they accept the copyright note of the journal.
Submission of a manuscript to Arthropod Systematics & Phylogeny implies that the same work has not been published or submitted elsewhere, and it is anticipated that the authors accept and follow the rules and procedures given below. It is the responsibility of the authors alone that no copyright issues are harmed by the publication of their article in Arthropod Systematics & Phylogeny.
After submission, the editor-in-chief evaluates whether the manuscript can be considered for publication in Arthropod Systematics & Phylogeny, brings the parts of the manuscript into appropriate, standardised format, and may also insert corrections and suggest improvements to the authors. The resulting files have the status of new mastercopies that are the basis for the further development of the manuscript. Then the manuscript is forwarded to an associate editor, who evaluates the overall quality of the manuscript and, if quality is acceptable, sends it to two referees who can cover pertinent subject-specific issues. The referees are kept anonymous (unless they de-anonymise themselves). Based on the referees' reports and their own evaluation, the associate editor and the editor-in-chief decide whether a manuscript can be accepted and to what extent revision is required. In case of major revision, revised manuscripts might be sent to the referees again.
For final submission, the text-, legend-, table-, figure-, and supplement-files must be submitted with the same structuring as specified above for first submission. Only at the very end, when requested by the editor-in-chief, the high-resolution original files of the figures are needed, preferably delivered in .cdr, .ai, .psd, or .eps format (.tif is less useful).
It is the responsibility of the authors that with final submission the manuscript includes (1) all GenBank accession numbers for DNA sequences used in the manuscript as well as (2) all Zoobank registrations for taxa newly described and for the article in question.
Authors are welcome to additionally submit a colour photo that could be used for the cover page of the issue including their manuscript. The photo should show an arthropod (living animal in its habitat) from the taxon the authors' manuscript deals with; it should be of high resolution and suitable for landscape (transverse) format.
Page proofs will be sent to the corresponding author as a PDF file (usually with reduced resolution). The authors should indicate final changes in the PDF file, and return the annotated file to the editor-in-chief within a few days; if this is not possible, publication of a manuscript might be delayed to the next issue. Only minor changes can be made at this stage, unless a requirement for major changes results from the layouting process.
There are no page charges (including colour plates). No royalties will be paid to authors (including a selected cover photo). Authors will receive a PDF file of their published article free of charge and are welcome to further distribute it for non-commercial purposes and to post it on their personal and institutional websites. The PDF files of articles as well as associated supplementary files can also be freely viewed and downloaded at www.arthropod-systematics.de (open access). Any commercial use of the published articles is excluded. Reprints on paper are not offered.
